Trevor Francis was recognised as the first £1,000,000 player but the actual fee of the transfer was £999,999. Actually £1 short of the million pound mark. But Francis is still known as the 1 million pound player

Trevor Francis from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest

But actually Brian Clough paid £999,999 for Francis because he did not want the £1 million tag to go to his head, but after taxes, the total came to just over £1.1 million.

It was to Nottingham Forest (managed by Brian Clough), not Norwich and the official fee was actually £999,999 because Clough did not want the £1 million tag to get to Trevors head but after taxes the total amount came to just over £1.1 million.
